NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Organization
Capital Appreciation Portfolio, Global High Yield Securities Portfolio,
Intermediate Tax Free Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, Latin American
Equity Portfolio, Pacific Basin Equity Portfolio, and Small Cap Portfolio (each
a "Portfolio", and collectively, the "Portfolios") are registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the Act"), as amended, as an open-end
management investment company. The following portfolios were organized as an
unincorporated trust under the laws of New York and commenced operations as
follows:

Small Cap Portfolio........................          August 6, 1993       October 21, 1993
</TABLE>
 
The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees") to issue
beneficial interests in the Portfolios.
 
During fiscal year 1996 and 1995, Intermediate Tax Free Portfolio and Capital
Appreciation Portfolio and International Equity Portfolio changed its year-end
to September 30th.
 
B. Security Valuation
The Portfolios' investments listed or traded on the National Stock Exchanges or
other domestic or foreign exchanges are valued based on the closing price of a
security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Portfolio assets are
valued. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the
securities valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by the
Trustees. All other portfolio securities for which over-the-counter market
quotations are readily available including circumstances under which it is
determined by the Investment Manager that sale or bid prices are not reflective
of a security's market value, portfolio securities are valued at their fair
value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the
general supervision of the Trustees. Short-term obligations with remaining
maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. Other short-term
debt securities are valued on a mark-to-market basis until such time as they
reach a remaining maturity of 60 days, whereupon they will be valued at
amortized cost using their value on the 61st day. All other securities and other
assets are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under
procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.
 
C. Security Transactions and Interest Income
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income,
less foreign taxes withheld (if any), is recorded on the ex-dividend date or
upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign
securities. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes
amortization of premium and discount on investments. Realized gains and losses
from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.
 
Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions
deemed to be creditworthy by the Portfolio's Investment Advisers, subject to the
seller's agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon
price. Securities purchased subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with
the Portfolio's custodian, and pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement
must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the repurchase
price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying
securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest,
the Portfolio will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the
next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the
seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the Portfolio maintains the right
to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting
loss against the seller.
 
All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses
from the security and foreign currency transactions of the Portfolios are
allocated pro rata among the investors in the Portfolios at the time of such
determination.
 
D. Foreign Currency Transactions
The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. All
assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted
into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates. Purchases and sales of
investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are
translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such
transactions. The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of
operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from
the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such
fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain and loss
from securities.
 
E. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
Global High Yield Securities Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, Latin
American Equity Portfolio and Pacific Basin Equity Portfolio may enter into
forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose of settling specific
purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency or with
respect to the Portfolios' investments generally. The net U.S. dollar value of
foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the Portfolios
and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined using
prevailing exchange rates. With respect to forward foreign currency contracts,
losses in excess of amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities may arise due to changes in the value of the foreign currency or if
the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
 
F. Option Contracts
Each Portfolio may enter into Option Contracts with the exception of the
Intermediate Tax Free Portfolio. Upon the purchase of a put option or a call
option by a Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded as an investment, the value
of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value. When a
purchased option expires, the Portfolio will realize a loss in the amount of the
cost of the option. When the Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction,
the Portfolio will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sale proceeds
from the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the
option. When the Portfolio exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss
from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be
decreased by the premium originally paid. When the Portfolio exercises a call
option, the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise
will be increased by the premium originally paid.

NOTE 4 -- CREDIT RISK
The Global High Yield Securities Portfolio invests in primarily high yield,
non-investment grade debt securities issued in many of the world's securities
markets. Investments in higher yielding securities are accompanied by a greater
degree of credit risk and the risk tends to be more sensitive to economic
conditions than higher rated securities. The risk of loss due to default by the
issuer may be significantly greater for the holders of high yielding securities
because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to
other creditors of the issuer.
